Megatone Records was an independent music label created in San Francisco in 1981 by Patrick Cowley and Marty Blecman. The name was derived from Cowley's "Megatron Man". The top artists involved include The Patrick Cowley Singers, Jeanie Tracy, Sylvester, and Paul Parker.

Megatone owned 2 sublabels. Megatone House Records, active from 1988 to 1991, specialized in House music. Mega-Tech Records, active in 1992, specialized in house music with breakbeat.
